The film is the English-language debut of Korean director Jee-woon Kim and follows a border-town sheriff (Schwarzenegger) who must prevent an escaped drug cartel leader (Eduardo Noriega) from fleeing the country. Knoxville and Guzman's characters seem ready to help even if they aren't as tough as Schwarzenegger's sheriff.

The film, the actor’s first starring role since 2003’sTerminator 3: Rise of the Machines, also stars Forest Whitaker and Genesis Rodriguez. It’s slated for a Jan. 18, 2013, release.

Schwarzenegger has several other projects in the works, including The Tomb (with Sylvester Stallone) and director David Ayer’s Ten. His memoir, Total Recall, was released last month to lackluster sales.
